About the Hellhound Tanto: So what did you do when you were a kid? Probably like us: rode your BMX, picked your nose, and played video games. Well, Sean Marfione's dad is Tony Marfione who is the founder of Microtech Knives so understandably, he spent a TON of time around knives and grinders. Sean came up with the Hellhound Tanto which is a stylized tanto with a wicked upswept tip with a upper swedge grind (upper swedge is not sharpened). So father and son teamed up and put the awesomeness that is the Hellhound Tanto and put it in the 'large and in charge' Combat Troodon Chassis.

The Blade: Well Brady wanted to smash his camera trying to take pictures of this as it is impossible to capture the awesomeness of the Cracked Ice finish. The grinds of the blade have a high polish that then has been the Cracked Ice treatment that looks stunning when it catches the light. The hand ground, Hellhound Tanto has the Cracked Ice finish on the grind bevels and a hand brushed finish on the flats.

The Frame: Aircraft grade aluminum chassis with hard anodized black finish. Chassis has what Tony Marfione calls his 'Hefted' finish which means the frame of the knife is hand 'sculpted' and the flats have been given a hand rubbed, brushed, semi-polish to contrast with the tumbled flats. All titanium hardware with Microtech's 'Ringed' detail two tone ice blue finish.
